Angels Clinched Division!
I don't make many predictions, and even fewer that come true. Imagine my surprise when the Angels actually fulfilled my blog prophesy yesterday! Now they need to get ready for the post-season.It was a nice celebration as the family went out and enjoyed some great sushi yesterday. Of course, the main reason we celebrated was because yesterday was the penultimate 10th before our wedding anniversary. This year, I've tried to do something on the 10th of each month to show Lisa how special she is to me. Next month will be the ultimate 10th: On 10/10 we will celebrate our 10th year of wedded bliss. At least, it has been blissful for me...Lisa might feel differently.
After dinner I drove James to AWANA and noticed something interesting. We passed Jim G.'s church and there were cars already arriving some 50 minutes before Wednesday night Bible study. I dropped my boy off at Jim W.'s church across the street which was positively bustling with activity as children all over north Fresno were arriving for the first night of AWANA. I drove towards home and only went one block before passing The Well, a local church popular with college students, many of whom were walking in from the parking lot, Bibles in hand, ready to dive into the Word together. Only one block more and I passed another large church where my niece and nephew attended AWANA back in the day (and the fact that they are actually old enough to have a "day" to go back to brings tears to my eyes).
Some might decry this journey as a testament to church disunity. I see it very differently. All of these churches are large and thriving. The Body of Christ is simply too large to be housed in a single building. We need all of these places just to have room to gather, fellowship, and grow together in our walks with God. What a wonderful feeling it was to see all of these churches, active and excited, in such a small geographical area. How powerful it could be if all those Christians would get fired up in their local churches, and then go and spread the Word as the church universal!

May I suggest if you are going to celebrate something by the ingestion of fish carcass, you save a ton of money by going to a bait shop instead of those ultra expensive sushi restaurants!
Congrats on the Angels ... of the CA teams, they are my fav. But does that even matter since I am not a baseball fan?
I'm pleased about the Angels because you're pleased about the Angels! :)
Glad for the Angels. Hope they go all the way.
